Slowjet,
Being ex NAVY is not enough for LBA.You must be trained on carriers and have a qualification in very strong X-wind from the (only) left up to the doors limit wind speed

captkink seeing as my reply to you was taken off. I'll post again.
You like listening to yourself talking out of your arse. If you are left of the centerline I pity any young F/O having to sit next to a chump like you.

Good luck with Jet 2, I hope thay you are successful with them.

I have to say I feel you are a little misguided in thinking that:-

(1) Philip Meeson will adhere to you requests of better T&cs once the
market picks up
(2) You will be able to achieve this single handedly.

I feel if you are not in a united union you will not have a leg to stand on. The only way to be effective is to have high membership and stand united. I am sorry to say you will still be a penny to the pound and PM will just show you the door!! Unfortunately, once these low conditions of pay are accepted there will be no going back to the good old days. When you compare PM with MOL of Ryanair its like comparing a !!!! with a !!!!!!!

My only advice would be to be party of a union as 300 people singing from the same hymn sheet is better than 1.

I do wish you luck and wish you best for the futurre.

Well said captain Douglas.
There's a reason why Jet2 flightdeck are moving towards BALPA and the cabin crew towards UNITE.

Does anybody know if the DART GROUP made a profit in its last financial year?

Now that's not bad is it? :confused:

Count Bawbag,
I have made an attempt in sending you a pm but it mentioned that you are no longer allowed to receive pm's, have you been :oh: by pprune? :)

Any interview feedback? Anyone?

Got an interview in the next couple of weeks (737, 2,500hrs lcc, soon to be laid off).

The interview is really relaxed. HR person and a Pilot conducting the interview. You might get a few competancy based questions, ie : " give me an example when you managed a non-normal situation " . So, have a few examples ready. There were no technical questions . It is really a getting to know you, style interview and I really enjoyed it, to be honest. My interview lasted an hour.

They said that the contract will be 70/30 , ie get paid 70 % salary for the year, but work the summer season ( March - end of October I think ).
Everybody is in a different situation and it is an employers market, but I can't accept that should I be successful, for various reasons.

Best of luck to all that have upcoming interviews. My best advise to you, is really just be yourself.

Take care.

Thanks hkf, I've heard similar to what you have said. Thought they may be offering some permanent positions. Will see what happens.

Hi all,

How long did Jet2 take to get back to you (either positive or negative) after submitting your application. Thanks

4 weeks for a positive reply.

if you do not meet the Jet2 requirements (i e typerated) then you will not get a reply.

I meet all the criteria and am 757 type rated. Have heard nothing - should I give up hope or are others in the same position?

I am 737 rated, current with 800hrs on type and not heard anything either way. :ugh:

Anyone any idea when Jet2 are likely to firm up offers etc? I had an interview last month, and got a provisional verbal offer of a job a couple of weeks ago, but have heard nothing concrete. Just would be nice to get some idea of the timescales they are working to...

Baron Buzz and vorlocgreen - Apparently they are still reviewing applications and calling people for interview so if you haven't heard either way its not necessarily bad news.

Binsleepen - I got called for the interview just a few days after submitting the application. I am 737 rated with about 2000 hours on type.

No news is good news in this case. Jet2 is still a relatively small company on the admin side and, being the only airline recruiting at the moment, interest has obviously been high. Have patience and you may get a call from HR for an interview a few days later.

How did Jet2 contact those who now know? .... email, phone call or letter?

Having recently been briefed by HR about various issues including the recruitment I can say the following:
Candidates are still being selected for both fleets.
Offers will likely be made in around a month.
What will be offered is a 70% contract ie. full time work in the summer and the winter off for 70% of the full salary. So doing the math, Captains circa 46k and FOs circa 29k.
